Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 7 digestive biscuits
  • 1 tbsp caster sugar
  • 25g butter

For the filling

  • ½ packet lemon jelly, separated into cubes
  • 2 tbsp just-boiled water
  • Freshly squeezed juice ½ lemon
  • 225g cream cheese, pressed through a sieve
  • 150 ml natural yoghurt
  • 50g caster sugar

For the syllabub topping

  • 75ml white wine
  • 35g caster sugar
  • Freshly squeezed juice and finely grated rind ½ lemon
  • 150ml double cream, chilled

Method: How to make lemon yoghurt cheesecake with a zesty syllabub topping

1. Place the biscuits in a thick, plastic bag and bash with a rolling pin until evenly crushed. Tip into a bowl and stir in the sugar.

2. Melt the butter in a small saucepan and pour into the biscuit mixture. Mix well then press into the base of a glass serving dish or four chunky glass tumblers or large wine glasses.

3. To prepare the filling, put the jelly cubes in a small saucepan with the water and melt over a gentle heat, stirring regularly. (Alternatively, melt in a bowl in the microwave.)

4. Stir in the lemon juice and fold in the cream cheese, yoghurt and sugar. Use a hand whisk to combine thoroughly until smooth. Pour over the biscuit base and chill for 2-4 hours until set.

5. To make the topping, put the wine, sugar, lemon juice and rind in a large bowl. Stir well, then leave to stand for 2-3 hours. Add the cream and whip with an electric whisk until the mixture forms soft peaks. Spoon onto the cheesecake filling and chill for several hours before serving.
